To all wlwm it may concern: i I

Be it known that '1, Guam a citizen of the United States, residing at Brookline, in the county of Norfolk, state of Massachusetts, have invented certain new a and useful Improvements in the Preparacalled, w 'ch an other be tion of Beverages; and I do hereby declare the followingto bea full,clear,and exactdescription of the invention, such as will'en- I able others skilled in the art to which it appertainstomake and use the same.

The present invention relates to improve- ,ments in the preparation of beverages, particularl malt beverages as well as non-intoxica 'bev or soft drinks, so

sewed of tar nutritive properties, an -of difi'eremt e (imposition, than the beverages P ep use at the praent time.

To this .end, the invention resides, generally, in the addition of milk-sugar, or caramehzed milkpercentage of the shade melt, or other malted or u'nmalt'ed hor cerealsl, orximy other sugar or sugars, it erto emp o in brewing processes, or in the production of Vengethe reparation of beer, ale, rter, or other ma tbeve as isgeuera 3' understood, a portion 0 the malt utilize to pro- 'duce the wort, is ordinarily replaced by cane sugar, glucose, cerealgrits, fla ed cereal, rice, or wheat, or

' other malted or unmalted cereal or cereals,

these being added to cheapen the costof production, reduce the color of the beverage, or change its characteristim, some of the carbohydrates in the wort being fermented by the yeast while another portion is .unafiected there the latterportion generally "termed the extract. The aromatlc flavor of add which fact, it will be apparent that if any other fermcntable sugars be present in the bevera the amountof extractive matter remaimng unfermente'd (including the enlpeeileaflaadletteralateat Appllfltlda mum 1:, M' Ierlallo. 480,317.

fire amount of milk-sugar added) would be largely increased, thus rmdenng the liquid more palatable. For example, a malt wort of approximately 12 cent. extract was made in the usual we known manner and divided into three equal portions. The first rtion'was fermented in the usual manner. 0 the portion was added twelve 0 mllk r v -e' 1: pounds of water, o l 2 pei' 3- ing the gravity about 24 per cent. portion was then also fermented. third portion was tireparedas was the secondbut modified g addm' g one liter of water to one liter 0 wort, in other words, diluted onehalf; this was also fermented, and the'resulting beers analyzed for alcohol and extract with the following results:;'

Original vl bout McohoLi n iah e dheaL, Exhaetinflnhhedbeer It will be noted that in the finished beers,

the first and the second contains practically the same amount of alcohol, while the third contains about one-half as much alcohol as do the first and second. It will be noted also that the second, with the same amount of alcohol as the first contains much more extract than does the first. This is due to the milk sugar added, none of which has been decomposed vduring the rocess of fermentation. It is likewise evid ent from an inspection of the third rtion of the fermented wort, where, with t e same initial gravity as sugar base, of that class of beverages known as non-intoxicating beverages, or soft drinks the total amount of extractive, or-

unfermented matter being increased in each instance, or its composition altered or changed. It will also be understood that my v 0 1 v bev the addition of vmilk sugar to a iermentable sugar to increase the amount of extractivematter. f p s 2.
